| Summary: | On the occasion of the completion of Karl Popper's Collected Works in German, available in a carefully produced edition by Mohr Siebeck in Tübingen, it is appropriate to reflect on the legacy of his Critical Rationalism. However valuable, its unconditioned demand for clear and unambiguous language in the manner of a report about the content of what great thinkers had said sometimes blurs the focus on problems and factual issues. It is especially not always helpful to accuse critics of being insincere or lacking understanding. Overall, Popper's 'realism', like Tarski's correspondence theory of truth, proves to be a formal idealism that does not yet critically analyse the complicated 'dialectical' relationship between the necessarily generic theories resp. ideal models on the one hand, and the real world of concrete experience and empirical truth on the other.Karl R.
